New 2D material could trash Chipzilla’s best with faster, leaner chips  Chinese boffins have emerged from their smoke-filled ...

and the transistor would remain a diode with two cathode terminals. If however you give the gate a negative bias compared to the source, the diode becomes reverse-biased, and no current to speak ...

The germanium itself sat on a metal plate attached to a voltage source ... and it's a crucial part of a transistor. In the presence of this junction, current can start to flow from one side ...

Should this transistor be fitted into a chip that does prove faster than US-made chips by Intel and other companies, it could also allow China to sidestep current restrictions on buying advanced ...

wired between gate and source. Unlike with BJT transistors that need a constant current flow, you only need to charge a gate once for the FET to remain open for a fair bit – and it’s such a ...

The same layered material can be made to behave as a superconductor, metal, semiconductor or insulator by using a transistor device developed by RIKEN physicists to tweak its electronic properties.

This kind of thinking would be as important as science for the invention of the transistor. Edison's discovery that current can travel through a vacuum didn't turn out to be very useful ...

A transistor – a word blend of "transfer" and "resistor" – is a fundamental component of today's advanced electronics. Essentially, a transistor, as one of the foundational elements of modern ...

Many of these limitations were overcome with the introduction of the Fin-FET more than a decade ago, a type of 3D architecture that wraps a “gate” around the channel that runs from the transistor’s ...

branded ‘ICeGaN’, to modify the gate behaviour of GaN power transistors, without using cascode-pairing, to make them compatible with drivers made for traditional silicon mosfets. At the same time, it ...
